Vegan Vixen — Ah okay, thanks for clearing that up.

I would like to point out that though escorts who buy into the hierarchy are indeed a big problem, few high-end escorts are part of the movement and, relatively-speaking, there are few of them out there to begin with. They’re part of the invisible majority by default, but they are far from a majority in any sense.

As for assigning privilege and all its issues — I think I’ve said everything I want to say already in the piece and comments. Glad this piece was thought-provoking for you.

Just one more thing: I need to fix a typo from earlier, which totally twists around the meaning of my comments. When I wrote,”I agree that we should discount the voices of sex workers just because they have implants, but people with implants shouldn’t make negative comments about natural breasts either.” I meant to say I agree that we shouldn’t discount the voices of sex workers just because they have implants. Unless somebody writes something I feel compelled to reply to, this is my last comment on this thread and I appreciate reading all the comments as well as Amanda’s blog entry.
